Dear friends
There is a tendency to rush to the doctor's clinic for least things. Your nose 
start running and the head is heavy you immediately go to the doctor who is 
ready with his prescription-antibiotic ten pills three times a day. But in my 
childhood days things were different. My intial doctor was at home, my mother, 
my grandmother.They had different therapies.For cold I had to have bath with 
addaso leaves boiled in the water. The medicine which I had to take was baya 
leaves, koddi sakor, raisons, badishep, one or two black peper, fatodfodi 
sal,gonjen leaves, methi, little onion,all put in four to five glasses of water 
and boiled and this had to be taken three or four times a day. If that failed 
then there was glass theraphy. an empty glass was taken and little camphor 
piece on ring of onion was kept on the back and burnt on which the glass was 
loaded till the flesh swelled up. This was kept for sometime till the glass 
fell off on its own. If this failed then there was boiling water theraphy. 
water was boiled with salt,jeera and rings of onion. It was steaming hot and 
this was put in the mud vessel. we had to cover our head and take the steam. 
then feet were dipped in the hot boiling water with left foot first then the 
right and then it was palm. this was mostly for fever and cold.
